Site as Thesis: Expatriated Caché

Despite prophetic claims of the digital emancipating from the production of material goods, we are still drowning in an overabundance of stuff that spills out of our house, backyards shed, and now to to distant remote sits. Comparison can be made to yesterday's cave dwelling survivals of food preservation and hiding treasures. However, today's post-Fordist culture is still preoccupied with storage, having propped up a wide and loose network of climate controlled caves. Technology may cope with this accumulation, but at best it only serves to facilitate the quick removal and storage of these goods. What then are the potential social-political implications for such nascent infrastructural networks that holds all our stuff?
